I don't remember that farback in versions of DOS. The story that I heard
was that he bought the OS off of some other individual or small company.
(Dirty DOS or something) Then sold the OS bought for a small fraction,
then sold it to IBM. Then IBM cleaned out a slew of bugs.
No matter, he's rich and I'm not. Who really cares about the actual
incident.
